I would highly recommend Hillcrest House to anyone visiting Bamburgh. It has a real personal feel to it and the owners cannot do enough to make you feel at home. The rooms are spotlessly clean and spacious and breakfast was delicious. We ate at Blacketts restaurant for our evening meal (which is just a two minute walk down the road)... More

After a very long, arduous drive from the Midlands, we called at HillCrest House on spec. Lovely friendly hosts, fabulous and very clean en suite room, great nights' sleep and a really delicious breakfast. Felt we had been pampered. Brackett's restaurant (a few minutes away) also part of Hillcrest provided a delicious evening meal, cooked fresh to order. The bread... More

Arrived in Bamburgh with no reservation - got the last room at Hillcrest House. Made extremely welcome, the family room not available but it was no bother puting in an extra bed for our 8 year old in the spacious double - with very large en suite. Hosts great, house spotless, breakfast delicous. When we asked if there was anywhere... More

We were given a very homely welcome to Malcolm's B&B, and provided with plenty of info about what to see in the area. Excellent Northumbrian sausages for breakfast too! More

A pleasant and enjoyable accommodation in Bamburgh. A good home cooked English breakfast. Highly recommended. More

It would be hard––not to say impossible––to top Hillcrest House. The rooms are spotless, bright and comfortable.

The house is immaculate and Linda and Malcolm provide a very warm and friendly welcome. We had taken our family with us promising them a... More

I stumbled across the Hillcrest without a reservation and was warmly welcomed by Malcolm and his wife. The room was clean, beautiful and relaxing, with a view over the hills to the ocean. The bathtub had bubble bath, and the English breakfast was delicious. The hosts were so helpful, kind, and sweet- I would recommend this to anyone traveling in... More

The couple who run this house were fantastic hosts. They were so helpful and kind, and extremely welcoming. Our room, and in fact the whole house, was spotless, and extremely well-kept. We were staying there for a wedding, and the couple even kindly offered (which we gratefully accepted) to drive us to the reception. How many guest house owners would... More
